to be honest, what rpg is fun to play more than once? it's absolutely no fun to start back with a level 1 party after making level 45. that being said, it's tough deciding to start over at level 10 too. it just gets mundane, boring, and repetitive to do the first simple missions. this is true with any rpg honestly. geneforge had more replay value only because i played exile so much more that avernum was basically 90% of a rerun (cause there were a couple new dungeons thrown in and some other minor changes).

prismatic shield doesn't work too well. i beat it having my whole party in the line of sight. (tho i used a invulnerability potion on my fighter. i had my mage acid each turn, then eventually started with lightning when acid was doing 30-40pts damage. the priest does better with smite than repel spirit i found.

graphics have been recycled since exile. the only difference now is that jeff has two successful rpgs so we have people going "oh these are geneforge gfx tainting our beloved avernum." granted, if i personally were designing a game i wouldnt be so blantant, but the game is fun and the engine is awesome! so who can complain about graphics which have never ever been the selling point of spiderweb games. after playing it for a bit last night it definately feels like avernum. i like how outdoors/town mode are one in the same, but i didnt at first. it makes the game much much more fun to explore all the outdoors as if it were a town. i think dialogue has improved. in fact, steadily the NPCs have become more realistic.

well i am on my new macintosh right now. im on my home network ... im downloading avernum 4. the ram chip in question happened to be 256, so im riding fine with 384? whatever the total is. pc133 worked no probs. :) the chip that was inside was pc100. i know from extensive pc experience that higher = ok, lower = not ok. either way im not complaining. my download is done now. so guess what i'm doing!!!

that isn't a problem. i happen to have an extra 128mb stick kicking around that i am fairly sure is compatible. (macs take pc133 right?) thanks for the help everyone! just so you all know, i am justifying the money i spent on this as "oh i needed a macintosh kicking around my apartment anyway" not as in "i need a macintosh the moment spiderweb releases a game i can't play for a few weeks". on another note, i am not sure if my girlfriend will make me return it right when i get home, or after i ignore her for a couple days.

ok. i will try 192mb memory, and 400+ mhz. i am not sure what kind of cheap g3 imacs are kicking around. i really would just do a clean install of macos and only running avernum 4. god i am so pathetic. Posts: 14 | Registered: Monday, December 12 2005 08:00 |

__HELP WITH BUYING A MAC TO PLAY A4__ i wound up waiting to buy a beater mac. would it be feasible to run at say g3 300mhz with 64mb of memory? if not, what would be the minimal system requirements needed to play. i am not looking for anything fast. (i work in a town with a college, and since i'm in IT i have access to used university computers.) Posts: 14 | Registered: Monday, December 12 2005 08:00 |

two options: 1. with regards to emulation i've tried that route before with limited success (barely playable) actually, waiting for exile 3 is what got me into mac emulation :P the two options are pearpc or basilisk ii ( now called sheepshearer i believe). both can be found on google. basilisk ii requires a mac rom and you are going to need a copy of macos 8 (which is the minimum avernum 4 requires and the maximum it supports). i am not sure if pearpc needs a rom, but it definately needs macos as well. both of those things require you to legally own a macintosh for the rom and a copy of the operating system. naturally, you can find these if you look hard enough but its not entirely legal. 2. (what i am doing this afternoon) BUY AN OLD MACINTOSH! they're cheap (under $50). you can get a low end G3 imac with a mouse, keyboard. everything you need. plus they have usb/internal ethernet. im buying it just for internet in my kitchen. myself, i gave up with emulation. too much of a headache considering that avernum 4 has very low system requirements.
